For those of you interested, I did get the figure with similar paint smudging on the legs, however if you use Citadel Paint's color Cadian Fleshtone it matches the figures skin tone very well and can mask those paint splotches. You can find some paint on amazon for less then $10.00
The hat keeps the aliens from reading his mind.
The tank one reminds of both a Megaman boss robot and a Mazinger character.
i've been a fan since MOTU's introduction when i was 3. i thought i knew virtually all MOTU history, but this set was all new to me! i'm 33 and you've blown my mind.
Tank Head is, with the possible exception of Draego-Man, the coolest-looking "new" Classics character I've seen! He deserves his own release--with an appropriately crazy backstory.
another figure to add to my collection. thanks a mill pixel dan. u deserve mad props.
Awesome, thank you for the history lesson! I had never seen the pic of the three Roger Sweet creations before. Very cool to see them in all their glory.
Noah Henson watch The Toys That Made Us on Netflix. There’s an amazing He-Man episode! It’s a great history lesson and also they have The Power of Grayskull documentary also!
It's a shame he died 50 years before Adam was born. Maybe they'll do a ghost, zombie, or some other undead version of this guy in the future? LOL. XD
The tank headed military man reminds me a LOT of the Super Gobot Destroyer. That would have made for an amusing comparison.
Great explanation of the back story. Thank you. Now I can really appreciate this figure more. Great review as always!
Putting Vykron in barbarian mode helps you build your He-Man corps! Thanks for the review!
They should've just made three figures. I was very excited about this when I bought it, but pretty disappointed by the final product. It should've been a three pack, but I'd have bought them all separately if necessary.
Can't wait to see your review of the Masterverse figure. Got mine in today
With how he looks lin the Boba fett type mask an flight gear, could all most put him as one of the Hawkmen from the 1980's Flash Gordon movie with how the pack looks.
The Military look is pretty cool as well as the Barbarian look as well, could see this figure with ether look fitting in with the other figures to maybe a few peaces being mixed an match with others to make a different type of character.
I really wish I could find him at big lots. I did pick some that they had but naturally they did not have Vykron. Only 1 Big Lots in the Burlington IA area without driving an hour to an hour and a half. I am crossing my fingures but my luck they probably won't get
any. another great review!!! :)
Hey, Pixel Dan, aside from the placement of the figures in the window box, is there any difference between the SDCC set & the Matty Collector set of these figures? Is one version of the set more desirable for any reasons? Any better? Or are they basically the same?
Great review and a great idea for a SDCC figure.
luckily you can still get this guy for around $70 or so (because i got into MOTUC way too late so everything is pretty expensive) I really want to use this guy and all his pieces for custom fodder so one figure with all that different armor is a dream come true
Can the military outfit be put on a standard he-man? Seems like the only piece that might not work would be the gauntlets.
glad i preordered, i think ill either mix and match to make my own armor, or use the military armor
Hey Dan,can Vykron parts fit the He-man figure?
Vykron as Space Dude is wicked, I like that version.
UK store Primark has loads of up-to-xxl underoos, boxers, tees and lounge pants - I've ordered my buddies in Scotland to send me a pack of them!
@Mandalorian30 - Have you yet to review the big Griffin beast?
Its a nice idea from Mattel and a nice figure,even with all the problems.
The helmet could be used for a Magneto custom.
If you're referring to the original line's Jitsu and Ninjor, they did not have the same head. Ninjor reused a lot of line's basic parts, but his head was an all-new sculpt that only marginally resembled Jitsu's.
tbh, i think the tank man armor looks like a nod to the original triclopse figure's armor, least the chestwear in my opinion, but looks good
i love the military one amazing but i love the concept ones more
I understand the theory behind the new title card, but the background completely clashes with the Pixel Dan logo, making it difficult on the eyes to see.
My only issue is the barbarian chest armor, everthing else fits. I might have to mess with the space belt a little, but not much.
Wow, "ripped Vykron's body in half!?!?" That bio is quite gruesome.
I wonder which costume he was wearing when that happened?
PixelDan, where did you get that shirt from? i need one! i have an original '83 print poster of this framed on my wall, with the same mini-comic tucked into the bottom left corner. this is some of my favorite artwork (MOTU or otherwise). please dude, tell me where to get that shirt! or i'll give you $50 for yours.
Tank face reminds me of Mazinger Z. Must buy!
I think the guns looks better swapped between the spameman and tang guy.
With the new Man At Arms coming out, I'm thinking of putting the human mustachioed head on the new MAA body, and putting the Military bits on the original MAA body for a whole new character; all that green.
For Vykron himself, the barbarian outfit all the way. MAYBE with that space warrior helmet, just to look like a typical helm. Axe in one hand, blaster rifle in the other. :)
Also, Dan, looks like Vykron came out of the package happy to see you! ;P
And the helmet that came with the tank man and ripoff boba fett on the original figures head looks both like a goblet/chalice or a hubcap to me
its just me or that tank guy sculpt is gonna somehow be Artilla's face sculpt? anyway great review as always pixel dan!
These guys seem to have become He Man Man At Arms and Zodac
the tank man looks like a warhammer character! cool!
the space-armor vest looks like a repaint that would closer match the very early mini-comics for prince adam. just me?
Great review, as always, but it just reaffirms my dislike of this figure. I totally get what Matty is doing with it, and I understand why others are really looking forward to it. It's just not for me. In that regard, I totally agree with Dan when he says "This is what convention exclusives should be". Something that die hards will love, and fans like me can pass without feeling like we're missing out on something vital.
Thanks again Dan! Keep up the great work. :)
I would have to get three of these just for different suits.
The Tank armor kinda makes him look like a Transformer.
military man looks like a M.U.S.C.L.E wrestler! SO COOL!
Love the Tank-man!
haha, the "Hey Guys!" word bubble. Great addition there. I'm not really impressed with Vykron but I do like the thought behind it. Also, you'd think they'd send Dan a good preview version of the figure so he didnt have to point out those terrible brown smudges. lol. I like the Barbarian and the Tank dude's pretty interesting, but "meh" to the Space gear.
He-man.
He's the man for the job.
esto solo nos obliga a tener que comprar 3 figuras para poder mostrarlas con las tres armaduras...
I like the military one is cool
i want to see spikor!!!
I hope beyond hope they make Ninjor.. i LOVED Ninjor as a kid and seeing Jitsu as a prototype just made me so happy! hell if nothing else i can MAKE Ninjor just customize Jitsu! he already comes with the same Head, Sword, ect.. just give him Skeletor Feet and stuff! i would think our chances of Getting a Ninjor are pretty high since he is just a Reuse of Jitsu.. Just like my Other Favorite Stinkor is a simple reuse of Merman and Mechaneck.. what do you think Pixel Dan? (or other commenters!)
i think ill buy some spare he man's off of ebay to get the other to costumes
Pause it at 8:46 ....I don't know why, but I feel like I'm looking at Dolph. Put a long blonde mullet hair piece on him, make the hands flesh tone but keep the gauntlets, & change the furry loincloth to a leathery one, and there he is. Maybe this is the reason for the new face/head sculpt? An '87 He-Man, without needing an actor's approval for likeness?
I sort of like these original figures more than all the others
Conan,Centurion and Transformers Brawl or Warpath in 1 Awesome figure
You know, the figure isnt bad. But if there is one awesome thing about this video, its your shirt friend. Where did you get that?
at super 7 you can now buy the figures of 80 years again
WE NEED A RAM MAN!!!!!!
Vykron looks like Conan the Barbarian
Or, does Conan look like Vykron?
As much as this figure cost it looks like they could at least paint it properly.
I'd assume it was a combination of the figure being packed while the paint was still wet with the legs in a squat pose.
@@user-do2ev2hr7h yeah, and it’s easily fixable with some sandpaper or nail polish remover.
The Tank form looks more like a character from Ultimate Muscle aka Kinnikuman lol
he looks like juggernaut in the movie in space armer
only 2 if you have the reissue of he-man
I like the vikoron or vikor figure how ever you said the name best tho I hate the horned helmet as I have Norse ancestryand knowing it was based on a Viking I hate that the folks of history added horns to the helmets when they were never on any helmet ever found
In 1980, when the original figure was mocked up, it wasn't common knowledge that Vikings didn't wear horned helmets. Congratulations for being internet woke, young millennial.
It looks to me that this figure will become NA He man and Ice Armor He Man 200x
A helmet that has no protection value.....:p
motuc stop motion (A New Era) part 1, 2, 3,4 are here! Check it out!
Tank head rules.
Dan--that is not brown paint ^_^!!
Yeah, Vykron's face is obviously reminiscent of the original He-Man's (which is better than the current He-Man face). The current He-Man face is not a favorite of mine at all. I think the Three Horsemen wanted to combine the 200X He-Man sculpt with the vintage look for the current He-Man face. The helmet on Vykron's head is terrible. It's sloppily done.
thirty fifth! jk this is so cool i dont buy these but they look really good should i get them
it is a nice choice for character(s) for sdcc and i don't mind the goofy factor, but i do mind the CHEAP factor - shame shame shame on the 4H, they have lost their touch - this will go down as the moment the 4H jump the shark.
Dan's Vykron doesn't know how to wipe, properly.
That isn't paint. He got really scared before getting ripped in half
only sucky thing about this is I have to get 3 of them.
POWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
He reminds me of The Rock with that eyebrow....
Vykron or Megaman XD
it's just a nick ! Ill be fine!
i always been a fan of MOTU but this a pass for me
Good review as always Dan.
But I'm not impressed with the figure, as far as I'm concerned Vikor and Demo-Man were the only prototypes necessary, but this figure just looks... goofy! I'll pass!
Looks like Vykron had an accident.
Prototype wondar
Power Extreme! Eme! Eme!.. ;)
Just scratch the paint off.
LMFAO!!!!
He's aroused :) the cloth is sticking out lolol
vikron hadda boner
the only figure that does look better than the old one is the military man the rest just looks crappy
i got it 4 free because i went trick or treating with my dad at mattel
i got this 4 free about a month ago and im just a 10 years old
Im all against the classic fad just take a look here to this far fetched character I mean even the face of the He man itself looks to badly sculped or designed I dont know where even start all these figures should have been some how elected by collectors but it looks far off its just making money out of He man shadow
You think this character is too ridiculous? I'm surprised you could tolerate 90% of the other figures in the series. Plus this figure is a convention exclusive, meaning this figure is mainly intended for "die-hard collectors", so I'm not sure where you got that " money grubbing" idea from.
SKIP!
thats because the original concept for the heman toy was to be an action figure for the conan movies, but they geared it more to kids giving it it's own story, simply because conan was a little too graphic and adult themed for kids at the time, it was all that PC-politically correct- bs they worried about back then soo they tooled around with concepts of a story to market the toy, thats how transformers and ninja turtles came into play, though with ninja turtles it was a graphic comic before.
This is factually incorrect. As Dan explains in the video, Mattel designer Roger Sweet created He-Man in three incarnation: a modern soldier, a futuristic astronaut and a savage barbarian. The latter was chosen because of the marketable interest in fantasy at the time (1980/81). He-Man was never intended to be Conan, as a lawsuit from Conan Properties, which was ruled in favor of Mattel, later proved.
